A
rendezvous with Chacha Nehru
The
day was beautiful after the downpour,the skies
seem to pour some more and in the midst of all this we set out to see
the remnants of the glorious past of our beloved Chacha Nehru. Chacha
Nehru, as the children loved to call him was so popular among the kids
of that time and perhaps this love will never cease to exist.

so excited for the trip

Did we pose well?!

Well,
we hoped to get a glimpse into the golden pages of history and that is
exactly what we got. We started with the museum and it
almost felt like we had gone back in time!! Our guide took us on a journey into the life of the political leaders of that time. Chacha Nehru's
bedroom,drawing room and the study are preserved very carefully and we
couldn't ask for more.

The fascinating rooms

The
museum tells of the struggles and adversities which the leaders of the
past faced in the hands of the British through photographs,manuscripts,newspapers and what not,all stand tall to give
evidence of the struggles of our leaders.We got a glimpse into the whole Nehru family and also some significant leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpat Rai and others.From there,we were taken to a room where a model of the Parliament House of that time was depicted and it almost looked real.

Then, came the most fascinating part of the museum- the gift gallery. It was adorned with all the gifts Chacha Nehru had received in his lifetime from different leaders of several countries. There were gifts from China,Somalia, Japan,Nepal,Burma,Tehran,Ceylon to name a few. We also saw the prestigious Bharat Ratna award with which Chacha Nehru was honoured.
